ROUTINE

Babies have their own large free-play rooms for various activities plus a separate sleep room with monitors, in order to retain the same routine as they would have at home. We also have a dedicated area for nappy changing that is within the baby play-room and when children are ready to begin toilet training we will work together with the parents to provide the best continuity between home and nursery for a smooth transition.

The soft carpeted free-play room for those that are crawling, is used to help babies learn their five senses, develop co-ordination and to explore. We help them to realise and develop their abilities. With a ratio of qualified staff, 1 adult for 3 children, we can ensure individual attention, nurturing and continuity to help your baby to feel settled and minimize disruption.

Sunscreen, slippers and outdoor clothing such as sunhat and wellies, are to be kept at nursery to use when needed.

Items that may provide comfort or security would will be reviewed on an individual basis.

NO SHOE POLICY

Throughout the upstairs of the nursery we operate a No Shoe Policy, as children spend most of their time on the floor we feel it is important that the carpets are kept as clean and hygienic as possible. Parents are requested to provide slippers for their child to change into. Our staff also wear slippers or soft shoes. Shoe covers are also available.
